Jessica Beam is a Hot Mess by Kirsty Greenwood

When party loving Jessica Beam is betrayed by her best friend and turfed out of her home, she has no-one to turn to. Except maybe her posh long-lost grandmother Matilda…

But life isn’t going well for Matilda either. The acclaimed etiquette books she wrote in her youth are no longer selling, her mortgage repayments are enormous and now her disheveled granddaughter has turned up out of the blue and she is not at all what Matilda hoped she’d be…

In an attempt to get a new book deal and make some much needed money, Jess and Matilda decide to use Matilda’s old etiquette guides and teach messy, modern Jess how to become the ultimate demure lady. The true test of their project will be to capture the heart of the sexy, notorious playboy Leo Frost and prove that Matilda’s guides still work.

Transforming Jess from trashy to tasteful will be no easy feat, and when Leo starts falling for Jess’s newfound charms, what started out as a way to make some cash suddenly becomes a whole lot more complicated …
